no, they need adapter plates made to make them fit, they are a bit wider than the e30 seats

That'll be because you own a classic car that is approaching 30 years old. If you want cheap motoring Ford/Seat or Vauxhall may be for you.
Have you posted in the wanted section? Adit, Magpie and plenty of others that'll be able to help in your quest.

i not so sure mate, picked up a set of fronts in beige leather from coventry few weeks ago for £80, small bit of wear on the drivers seat. keep an eye on gumtree and on here, ebay tends to go abit heavy on price.

if you dont want sport seats i can sell you my leather comfort ones when i sway them. :D
